- DUBAI: Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank has named Jerry Mollenkramer, formerly at UK lender RBS, as group chief operating officer, a new position at the bank, the lender said.
The move follows the acquisition of RBS’ retail assets in the UAE by ADCB last year for about $100 million, to expand its domestic footprint.
“The bank has experienced substantial growth in recent years, especially following the acquisition of the RBS retail bank in the UAE,” Ala’a Eraiqat, chief executive officer of ADCB, said in the statement.
Mollenkramer was most recently the COO for RBS’ Middle East Africa franchise and held positions at ABN Amro previously, the statement said.
ADCB, the UAE’s fifth largest bank by market value and the third biggest in Abu Dhabi, swung to fourth quarter and yearly profit in 2010, helped by higher net interest income.
